The Dwarika's Hotel stands as a beacon for the grandeur of Nepali architecture and culture. The Dwarika's commitment to heritage conservation dates back to 1950, when our founder, Mr. Dwarika Das Shrestha, committed himself to preserve Kathmandu Valley's rich architectural heritage and the culture that created it.

The Dwarika's Hotels' elegant courtyards, buildings, and rooms contain some of Nepal's finest craftsmanship, capturing the beauty and spirit of an ancient city and preserving a cultural legacy that has defined the heart and soul of Kathmandu.

For its pioneering work in preserving ancient Kathmandu, The Dwarika's has won the PATA Heritage Award and the INTACH- SATTE Award.
